Restaurants near Madison Lake State Reserve

Lunch in downtown Columbus is back and special! We started with the Dirty Tots - crispy, spicy on the outside, creamy on the inside with a pop of caviar with dill garnish. Fantastic. The Lobster Roll is warm, filled with plump claw meat in a buttery roll with clarified butter for dipping and crispy shoestring fries. The Roasted Chicken was beyond any roast chicken with stuffing in the chicken breast, savory glaze on perfectly crisped skin. Even the iced tea was special - the current house made creation is a Blood Orange Iced Tea. A second glass arrived just as I was finishing the first. Service is friendly and gracious, there is valet at the lunch hour, and the interior of the restaurant is a lovely mix of formal and floral. A great business or celebratory lunch spot - much needed downtown.

Sundried Tomato Margherita flatbread, and Prime Rib Sandwich were both great menu choices. The service, meal prep and atmosphere all made for a great choice for lunch. We were not in a hurry but the meal order came out from the kitchen very quickly and efficiently. We were meeting with old friends and the atmosphere at Tucci's was very conducive to an enjoyable conversation.

Lunch at Valentina's was a delightful experience! The service was exceptional, with our server Mia being knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. Manager Daniel went above and beyond, offering a warm welcome and securing us a lovely table by the window. The food was equally impressive – the chicken parm was a crowd-pleaser, and the swordfish was cooked to perfection. The staff was also accommodating to our special requests, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, a wonderful lunch at Valentina's!

I love coming here. I have celiac disease so it’s always a little hard going out to eat, but Lindey’s is always so fantastic. I have never had a reaction after eating here. Our waitress tonight was extra amazing and helpful. This is our go to spot for special occasions and visiting family/friends. Never change Lindey’s!! P.S. if you ever start to make gluten free bread and pastries in your bakery you will have customers in this area!!!! I will be your #1 customer!!!

Wonderful dinner ! We had the Blue Plate special fried chicken and the ponzu salmon. A gin and tonic ,and a glass of Kim Crawford started our evening and a delicious piece of pecan pie finished it off! They have a fabulous pastry chef! Great place, always busy! Get a reservation !!
